6 million is a very reachable goal IMO. Should sell ~2.5 million in Japan, 3 million in the US, and 1.5 million in Europe.

I honestly believe they're setting the bar too low... I can see this do 8 million
Enjoy

if you been followings Square's Yoichi Wada, you'd understand he is trying to bring back revenue to square. If FF13 does well on the 360 there no reason for FF13Versus to come out on it to if it can bring in revenue.
So many people are underestimating the power of a FF game. Not to mention that it is the first real installment in, what... 5 years? And, it is in HD and in a totally new gen.
Just look at the FF best sellers. They have all been on a brand new platforms and early on in the new gen. FF7 is king as it was first on the PS1 and sits at 10 mil and FF10 has the 2nd highest sold at 8 mil. Shock... it was on a new platform, too the PS2 and early on in that new gen. Pattern maybe?

Don't hold your breath for a 360 FF13 Verses. We are seeing a stronger, more aggressive SONY now. M$ has used as much fire as possible this gen, it seems SONY has had to use some, too.

Don't be shocked if sales for FFXIII are lower than expected. The jrpg fanbase is dying and is becoming a small (but very vocal considering their internet presence) niche. Final Fantasy may be the exception to the rule but don't be surprised if the series has lost some popularity. I for one am not buying FFXIII at release. I'll wait until it's cheap (or heck maybe I should just skip it entirely) because my experience with jrpgs has been almost consistently dissappointing after the PS1 years. And it's about time I stop giving it so many chances. Many of us who got into the genre with FF7 are now in our twenties and can't stomach a 60+ hour time investment into something with tedious gameplay and mediocre and/or uninspired storylines that stopped being cool after we grew up. There will be plenty of people who grew up with FF7 that will buy this for FF nostaliga sake but the numbers will probably be lower than FFXII (which did 5.11m worldwide).
